Weekend Picturebook: New York, New York

New York City – the city that never sleeps, and is perfect for work AND play.

[Highly recommend the Circle Line Harbor Lights Cruise. You get to see so much of the city, and it was amazing. Thanks, Sister E for the recommendation!]

[Great day full of meetings, then an adventure out with the team in East Village!]

[Awesome restaurant Gnocco – I tried about 5 pizzas that night and mine was the best: prosciutto, arugula + parmesan. The salads were also delicious.]

[After dinner we walked “right around the corner” to the famous Odd Fellows Ice Cream. I had banana pudding ice cream with salted caramel sauce – yummmmm! photo from oddfellowsnyc.com]

[Later that night Mom arrived – yay!]

[Morning of meetings, then took the afternoon off to start our girls weekend!]

[We felt so fancy staying in the gorgeous St. Regis on 5th Avenue]

[Afternoon at the MoMa (Modern Museum of Art) browsing Van Gogh, Rothko, Matisse, Warhol and so much more. Ended with a rosé + the best onion dip ever in the statue garden]

[Dinner at Don Antonio’s in Hells Kitchen – more salad and pizza, that was just as amazing as the night before … maybe even a little better. Thanks for the recommendation Erin!]

[Tonight’s show: The Humans – 2016 Tony Award Winner for Best Play. Enjoyable, but not my favorite]

[My favorite part of staying at St. Regis – after coming back from a long day of walking, there would be slippers at the ready, water on the bedside table + classical music playing in the room. Can this be real life??]

S A T U R D A Y 

[What a wake-up call – french-press coffee + NY Times hand-delivered. Okay maybe this was the best part!]

[Breakfast and goodies at Chelsea Market]

[Quick stroll on the High Line (which was incredible) before …]

Greenwich Village Food and Culture Walking Tour!
A 3-hour tour where we learned about the history, culture and architecture of the area and ate so.much.good.food. Seriously, this was amazing, and I can’t wait to do another one next time I’m in the city! The following photos are from the tour:

[First Stop: Joe’s Pizza aka the perfect, quintessential NYC pizza]

[Our favorite spot, that was so adorable – Palma. Will definitely come back here.]

[The Cornelia Street Cafe – where SJP and Matthew Broderick had their first date, where Eric Clapton randomly shows up the play the piano, and where you might run in to Taylor Swift because … ]

[she lives right next door!!! I almost died and went to heaven. This is her $40k/month rental while her home in Tribeca is being remodeled, in case you were wondering.]

[Rafele’s Ristorante with amazing eggplant + ricotta!]

[Where they filmed the opening of Friends!!]

Seriously, if you’re going to NYC you have to do one of these Food Walking Tours!!

[Drinks before dinner and a show at The Roof, Viceroy Hotel – how about those views of Central Park?!]

[Yay Matilda! Loved this movie growing up and the show was so so cute!]

[Officially obsessed with Levain, and will always make a stop here before heading home.]

[Brunch at Central Park Boathouse – this mac and cheese was everything.]

[Such an amazing trip with Mom I will never forget!]
